Screen won't turn on? - Touch HD General

Hello,
I've got a problem with my Blackstone. I just flashed the latest topix Rom trough SD card and all went well (rom update:succes), and then i did a HR. But ever since then the screen won't turn on. I tried to softreset, hardreset, removing the battery for a few minutes and turn on, and entering bootloader. The screen stayed black. When i plug in the usb charge cable the orange led does go on, and when i press the power button the phone vibrates for half a second and plays the bootsound (as usual). I can even get an activesync connection with my pc.
Suggestions anyone?
Edit: Just flashed a new Rom (the latest energyrom); screen still stays black. I am still able to get an activesync connection + orange/green led
EDIT2: people in this thread seem to be having thesame problem I have with my blackstone. It seems to be a hardware defect... Now let's hope it will be repaired under warranty

Ok, I'm replying instead of editing because I've got a new problem now
I want to return my phone to claim warranty. I did manage to flash a stock rom + radio, but the problem is i use hspl and i am unable to flash a stock spl to the device. When I run the Hardsplwrapper-Blackstone.exe (doesnt matter wether its the unsigned olinex or the 1.56 olinex version) I get a 260: connection error when i use Windows XP, and a 202: connection error when using Windows 7.
The wiki says to run SSPL manually from a file explorer in your phone... But without a working screen that is a bit hard. I als don't have any screen viewing app installed on my device...
EDIT: also tried installing mymobiler to be able to view the screen but I am unable to connect...
Anyone?

I managed to flash stock spl by putting the device in bootloader manually while I had it connected to usb. Then I waited til the bootloader connected to my pc (I could tell because the "new hardware found"screen popped up). then I ran the hspl.exe and copied the stock .nbh spl file. After that I was able to finish the wizard

ok, another question (sorry mods for replying to my own thread _again_ )
I flashed a stock rom + radio and stock SPL (version 1.14). Is this enough to be able to claim warranty, or will HTC find out that i've been using HSPL and custom firmwares? I wouldn't like to have to pay for repairs because they find out about that.

stuck at boot loader -cant connect to pc

Hi,
I tried a new rom and now am stuck at the bootloader with no OS on the phone.
ipl 2.10.0001
spl 2.10.0001
gsm 02.69.21
os 4.0.0.0
I have searched all the forums and still cannot get my spvm600 to do anything. I have tried to run several roms but the problem is they cant see the phone as activesync wont connect. is there a way i can boot from the sdcard or somthing or do i have a expensive paperweight. when i try to hold down the camera and comms keys on start it asks me to format the device and then says doen and goes back to the above screen
anyone?
ideas?
Try to restart your device and deliberatly go to boot loader (keep camera button in) (keep usb disconnected).
once at boot loader screen connect usb cable ... you should now see "usb" in bottom left corner on device screen.
now run a wm5 rom like in step 1 of "how to upgrade from WM5 to WM6" thread - - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310452.
it worked for me!
every rom i try to install on it needs activesync to connect to it but activesync douesnt connect to it as the phone has been formatted. there must be a way to fix it but but i am totally stuck
Rom Upgrade doesnt need Active Sync, you just need to be in bootloader and have the usb cable connected. Then just go through the update utility.
I try that and it still seems to say no device connected would you like to try copying again. I cant understand it cause it makes that bling noise when i plug it in
Use Update_NOID
You must use the No_ID Updater to upload a ROM from the 3 colour screen. Just run this exe file and you should not have any problems.
Hi,
Please help, I too have the same problem. Installed all the versions but no use. Can any one help me how to downgrade to Original German ROM version for Neo. So that I can return to O2 company... otherwise this become expensive paper weight

YEEAAAAHHH
my phone is now working.
the no id rom worked a treat.
xtrafletch thanks a million!!

USB Problem

Hi,
if i connect my HTC Touch HD with my computer, it's just charging, nothing more. If i go to Bootloader, there is just written Serial even if its connected.
I am using Dutty ROM since some weeks and didn't had any problems till a few days ago, the strange thing is, that i didn't change anything.
I tried it on my laptop and on my computer the one with windows vista the other one with win xp, it worked on both, but not anymoe.
i also have a problem with the camera, if i press it nothing happens it just stays in the menu. Some days ago i got a error failed to initialize camera, but no more error anymore.
In my opinion my hardware is broken somehow, i hope someone in here can tell me sth different and a solution.
And if my hardware is broken, how can flash my original rom back without an usb connection, because the warenty will be gone with a custom rom i think.
I hope someone can help me.

A hard reset will quickly tell you if it's hardware or software and you don't need usb for that. There is also an option which dictates what the phone does when connected via usb, so you might want to check that option first.
need to read & search a little more
last paragraph of this post outlines how to return to stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2710548&postcount=1
i did hardreset, but still same problem
what i also noticed, is that sometimes my display don't work, i have sound and vibrate feedback, but i see just a black display, softreset etc doesen't work somehow i have to take of the battery.
i noticed also that the usb cable is a bit broken, but it still charges the phone.
but i already saw that normal usb cable should work too, so i tried it but no change.
i guess i will try to get the stock rom again now and see what happens
well like i thought, i can't get the stock rom, because i dont have a usb connection
any more suggestions?

There is 2 methods to flashing roms. Have you tried SD card method?
1. Download ROM image you would like to use, normally named RUU_Signed.nbh, and rename it to "BLACIMG.nbh"
2. Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
3. Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
4. Turn off your device by using the Power Button
5. Go to bootloader mode. Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button.
6. As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.
7. The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.
thanks god i didn't bring the phone to shop yet xD
thank u, i will check this method i will post here if it works later
well now i have another problem
there is written upgrade rom code error please try again on bootloader, i cant turn it on anymore it gets stuck on the loading screen of the flashing progress

I had this exact same problem a while back after a bad flash. What you need to do is flash carriers orginal stock rom onto device. This will be the only rom which will work. Go to wiki section on stock roms here and download your original rom and flash it. Don't worry if bottom of bootloader is blank or doesn't say 'usb', original rom will flash anyhow.
More info read this thread
i am downloading right now, hopefully it will work, i will write more infos later
thank u for your help, without you, i would be lost...
i am stuck, i get error 206 connection
i downloaded stock rom to my pc
and i'm a bit confused, my pc noticed that i pluged in the phone, my device manager showed my phone, this worked only one time, now nothing...
EDIT: in bootloader mode, serial staus doesnt switch to usb or blank, updateing usb driver doesn't work without usb connection to device, at least i didnt found sth here
i will try it on my other computer now, but i doubt it will work
EDIT2: got usb connection for some seconds, problem is my hardware of device its broken somehow, if i press on th eback of the device i am able to get usb connection, now it failed, i will give it some more tries, there was sth 294 ID error
EDIT3: seems like its the wrong rom, how can i find out which rom will work?
EDIT4: semms like i got a working rom its at 10%
EDIT5: Device working again, usb working perfectly again, dunno why, but camera still doesnt work, there happens nothing if i press on it and display turns black sometimes as before.
i flashed an O2 Rom now, from my provider.
My last question now is, what about warranty, how can i know that uspl/hsapl is fully removed from device and how to find out if device is now a case of warrnty, where can i check it? because i want a working camera again, so i think i need the warranty
Some infos:
O2 Provider ROM flashed
On Bootloader i see:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
In my opinion its fine for warranty, but i want someone to confirm this.
And thank you alot for ur help and work in this forum =)
If you have an official HTC upgrade rom on your device you are fine for warranty. As your SPL says 1.54.0000 this means you haven't got USPL or HSPL on your device, so you're fine.
thank you very much

Bricked via HSPL?

Hey all,
Just a little background information:
- Hard SPL'd my phone to flash Dutty's cooked ROM.
- All of a sudden one day, the phone switched off. I tried to boot it up but it will freeze on the HTC loading screen where it displays the radio version, ROM version in red down the bottom - the phone would not go any further.
- My computer won't even recognise it when I plug in my USB.
Anyway, I figured I'd try to uninstall HSPL and start over again. I downloaded an official HTC ROM, tried to load into the bootloader and now I'm stuck.
The screen reads:
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
If I pull out the battery/SD card, it will load into this screen again.
What *I THINK* may be the issue is that I didn't use the original ROM SPECIFIC to my phone, i.e. WWE Asian ROM.
I've updated the ROM image on my SD card but I can't get into the original bootloader to start the uninstallation process again.
Help!
Ok, nice and calm, are you sure you can't get into bootloader mode?
Power off, sim and sd card out (just to be sure)
hold volume down, tap power, continue to hold volume down.

I can get into the bootloader just fine.
It will display the error message and I can't do anything.
OK, so if you can get to the 3 coloured screen, you can just flash HSPL (if it isn't still installed) and flash a new rom.
Boot to bootloader(3 coloured screen), connect to computer, run HSPL.exe

My computer refuses to connect to the phone.
I'll plug in my USB cable, windows will make the connection sound but the phone won't load into Windows Explorer.
What does it say by the spl? 1.42.0000? or 1.42.HSPL?
Actually it doesnt matter, when you hear the connection sound, thats enough, Run HSPL.exe, and if its not already installed, it should install, if it is already installed it will say 'hspl requires 1.42.000' or something.
Either way, you can then go ahead and flash a new rom.

No, it doesn't work.
When I run HSPL.exe, it says it can't find my phone.
I already have HSPL installed with a custom ROM.
The phone is stuffed whereby I couldn't get past the HTC logo screen - it just freezes there.
I tried uninstalling HSPL thinking this would solve my problem with no luck.
The phone boots into the bootloader with an error message that I can't seem to get around.
Ah ok, so you get the error message on the 3 coloured screen? If that is the case, then spl itself is corrupt.
I thought you got the error message when the phone tried to boot, my mistake.
Next to try then is to find the original rom that came on your phone, and flash it from sd card, and hopefully it will overwrite the spl. It must be the correct rom for your provider and region, though.
If that doesn't work, then i'm afraid all I can do is wish you best of luck.

I think this is where I went wrong.
I tried uninstalling HSPL with a ROM that wasn't from my region which is why I'm getting these errors.
Surely there's a way around this?
If you can find your original rom, there is a good chance you will be fine, OR you can probably try the goldcard route, however i'm not 100% so i wouldnt go handing over cash (goldcard isn't free) until you are sure.
Do you know what rom you are looking for?

I'm sure my phone's original rom was the WWE Asian version from Hong Kong.
I've uploaded the ROM onto my SD card but I can't get the bootloader to load it.
As stated before, I used another ROM at first and then it crashed on me.
Everytime I start the bootloader, it won't let me load the Asian ROM from scratch.
It just displays the error with no way around it.
Hmm, ok, just a couple of last thoughts then i gotta go to bed.
1 - sd card formatted fat32
2 - some people have better luck with 2gb cards than with bigger ones.
3 - Was the phone bought direct unlocked from HTC or is there a chance its provider locked? (i.e are you REALLY SURE you have the right rom)
4 - RUU_Signed.nbh coppied to sd card and renamed leoimg.nbh
Gotta go, best of luck.
ok. u are getting error in bootloader? what exacly is the error message you are getting..
Hard Reset
I had a similar problem to this and a hard reset solved the problem. Did you try a hard reset? I think its press volume up and volume down and power simultaneously.

Even that won't work!
Confirmed hard reset but pressing "Volume Up", then the screen blacks out immediately and nothing happens.
When I press the "power on" button, all I see is an exclamation mark for a second then a black screen.
I think the solution is for you to try flashing to HSPL again.
1. Boot to bootloader mode by pressing Vol down key and click the Power button. You should get the tri colour screen, and the word "Serial" on the bottom.
2. Plug in the USB cable to your PC. The word "Serial" should then change to "USB".
3. Run hspl.exe as administrator.
I did the same as you previously when I tried to load the SEA 1.66 ROM on my Hong Kong English phone, and recovered it by using the above steps. I had to run HSPL 3 times before it worked. The first 2 times, it would seem to work as I'd get the "We Hacked it!" message, but when I rebooted the phone to the bootloader, it still wasn't HSPL. Only on the 3rd try, did it successfully load HSPL to the bootloader.
-edit-
You can download the original Hong Kong CSL ROM from a link in this thread.
got to say, if in doubt - goldcard it!!!
what is your spl version now? 1.42.0000 or 1.42.hspl '?
only bootloader is never a problem with hspl installed.
only bootloader is no problem with original spl version as long as you have a compatible stock rom.
\I wonder whether the phone would connect to computer properly.
After plenty of reading around, I've finally fixed the issue!
It was the easiest of all fixes - all I had to do was to download the original factory ROM the phone came with (.exe file) and run the executable with the phone plugged in via USB.
Thanks to all those who have tried to help.

[Q] The only thing that's working: bootloader

Hello together
wish you nice eavening!
My Problem is the following: The only thing, on my htc touch hd T8282 that seems to work, is the bootloader.
Til five minutes ago I could read there:
BLAC 100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP - BlackStone (LED) v6
now the following is added:
in the right, top corner: RUUNBH
in the green field: Upgrade ROM code error, Please try again
I think, this is because, in my helplessness, I interrupted the flashing process. But that's not the main problem.
Beside that, I can "start" the phone only by plugging in the USB cable from Computer or charging station. Then the phone vibrates, and the "smart mobility" screen comes up. After about 5 seconds it starts again, doing the same.
I tried hard resets, but it doesn't work. The only reason why I'm still trying to repair the phone is, that the bootloader is working. To me a signal, that somhow not everything is lost, but maybe I'm wrong.
I tried to flash the phone too. I tried first with the official "BlackStone_GER_1.56.407.2_Radio_52.60.25.33_1.12. 25.16DE_Ship.exe" which worked in the bootloader mode. At least the screen "flashing was sucsessful" showed. The bootloader was the same and nothing changed.
After that I tried with "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe", which is not working. It demands a connection with the ActiveSync, which I have on my Computer, but the only way the computer detectes the Phone is in the bootloader mode. In normal mode computer and active sync don't detect a phone.
So my questions to you:
Do you know a way to load the hard spl (from OliNex) to the phone, although I cannot connect it to ActiveSync? There should be one, because with the official data it "works" (or seems to).
Do you have any help?
Thankyou

wel its saying spl so its original spl and not hspl
if you downloaded the german rom form the xda site it doesnt work as the spl in that rom isnt for youre device
if youre in bootloader try to flash hspl on it and then you can flash roms from the site
the other option is got to htc official site and look up the blackstone
there search the latest rom
if you want to download it you have to enter youre imei(can be found under the battery) with that code the rom youre going to download is only for oure device and is supposed to work for you
hope it helps
Thankyou for writing!
I downloaded and tested the rom from the htc site. I can run that and it comes up with the "successful screen". Then, the phone restarts, and I have the old problem, nothing changed.
As I mentioned before, I can not flash the hard spl from OliNex. That's my big problem. Because, also mentioned before, my phone is not recognized by the active-sync programm and in bootloader mode the HSPLWrapper from OliNex doesn't work.
hope there are some more replies and answers..

In activesync (or windows mobile device centre) go to connection settings and make sure that "allow usb connections" is ticked. Then retry connection device to computer. Put device into bootloader while connected. Does bottom of bootloader change from "serial" to "usb" after a couple of seconds?
In activesync "allow USB-connections" is ticked.
In the white, bottom part of the bootloader is written "USB" when connected to Computer. But if I connect it to the charging unit and start in bootloader, the white field is empty. I can't start it without any electricity source. Either there is another problem with the battery or, because you can't turn it off, the battery is flat all the time.
Also, the original htc blackstone rom-program, detects a connection to the phone, and is loading the rom properly, it seems. Because I could turn the bootloader screen back to where I already was once (by loading the official rom again):
BLAC 100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP - BlackStone (LED) v6
Somehow it seems, that the power button is not working, I can't shut down when it is in bootloader, and can't really start the unit. But it's hard to say, 'cause it's starting automatically.
thanks

[Q] Help!

Hey guys,
Sorry to be a burden but I'm having a few issues with my hd2, and being a noob I didn't really know where to turn except this forum.
Basically my dad bought the hd2 from the UAE early this year and it all worked fine on stock settings for about 6 months. In the last few months, however, the phone started to lock up, and it got to the point where it wouldn't even boot properly.
In an effort to fix the problem I went with a hard factory restore, however, this seems to have caused more problems as now the phone is stuck in the bootloader.
I've been searching for hours, and have come to the conclusion that I need to update the flash? and then possibly install a new rom on the phone?
My major issue in doing this though, is that I can't seem to connect to activesync while the phone is in the bootloader.
Please help me sort this out.
First of all lets make sure that your trying perform the hard reset correctly.......
You need to hold down both volume buttons whilst the phone is turned off..... Then tap the power button and keep the buttons held down.......
Release them when you see the confirmation screen.........
Powering on while holding only the vol down button will take you to bootloader....
If you need to reflash the device then have a read of this thread here....
If its a "Tmous" HD2 (green and red call/hangup buttons) then you need to read this one
When connecting to the pc in bootloader you should see the word "serial" at the bottom of the screen change to "USB".......
Might be worth checking the text on you bootloader screen for any irregular looking characters, there have a few cases of people with corrupt bootloaders, usually these will display odd looking characters at the top. This is quite rare though.
If you want to flash another stock rom then you wont need to worry about HSPL just download the appropriate ROM and follow the instructions on screen.
Start off at the HTC site and input your serial number to see which ROM is suitable for your device.....
If none of that helps then hold out for some advice here from someone with better knowledge of these things.....
Ok well I've just tried to do the hard reset in the way you've described and had no response from the phone. I had to remove the battery from the back to actually power down the thing as nothing else seemed to work. I can't actually seem to start it up again now =S
Thanks for all the info, I'll keep trying to get it started. I'm downloading the stock rom from the htc site. Hopefully I will find a way to install that.
Also, when the bootloader was up, there weren't any odd characters that I could see. It all seemed pretty standard. It had the current rom driver which was 1.42 or something and a few other lines of info.
Thanks for the post.
edit: perhaps the battery is dead?
No problem.
Is it charging when plugged in and turned off?
If so let it charge while turned off for a while and then try to boot........
If you cant get to bootloader and establish a USB connection then you could try flashing the ROM from the SD card.
rename the rom to "LEOIMG.nbh" place it on the root of a freshly formatted (fat32) sd card and turn on the phone holding vol down..

To be honest I have no idea if it is charging whilst turned off =S All I get is the bootloader when it decided to turn on and that gives no indication of power level so I really have no idea. It makes updating a rom pretty scary haha.
So I just attempted to install the default rom from teh htc site, but failed due to the lack of activesync. It was strange though because the updater managed to change the screen on the phone and get to 1%. It then crashed and I had to go through this recovery process.
I will have to try this SD card process I guess. Could you perhaps link me to a more in depth guide to how to do this?
Thanks a lot for your help I really appreciate it.
you should get a red light up near the earpiece to indicate that its charging........
try this video for flashing from sd card......
I am not getting a red light flashing? But it doesn't seem to be running out of charge. I'm still having lots of trouble
It would seem that I need to install this hspl before I do anything, however, I can't install that if I can only access the bootloader screen. Does this mean my phone is bricked?
I want to be able to set up a rom straight from SD, however, I have no idea where to start. That video just seems to send me in a big loop.
Perhaps you could link me to a simple rom that I can attempt to load via sd card?
edit:
I seem to have somehow fluked an install of HSPL 8G XE.
I have no idea how this happened or whether it is good or bad.. but at least something has happened.
Hmmm
installing hspl is covered here
as long as the word "serial" is changing to "USB" on the bootloader screen when you connect to the computer you should be ok.......
You dont need HSPL to flash via sd card but I think that video was directed more towards people installing cooked ROMS from XDA.
Installing a stock rom will automatically overwrite HSPL so unless your planning to flash a custom ROM then installing HSPL is pointless........
You might be better off installing a cooked rom. (Artemis, Dutty's)
They tend to run better than stock, if you get one running then it will be easier to get back to a stock rom (if you want to) than the situation your in now.....
This is from the flashing guide;
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
Reckon you could link me to one of those roms? I think we're getting pretty close now.
Your help has been great I can't thank you enough.
Your welcome
You can find Dutty's ROM here
or the Artemis ROM here
Have a quick read and see which one you think you'll prefer, to be honest I think they're both pretty similar to stock but with a lot of the crap taken out....
Just follow the steps in the first link I posted and you should be good to go.
Ok new problems.. Can you believe it.
I seem to have tried everything.
Basically I can install of a sd card, but when it gets to the end of the install and I restart instead of booting into a OS it boots to the tri colour screen, and starts the install process again.
Also, I have attempted to install via usb and have had varying success.
As I have already said, I am able to install hspl, however, when I try to flash I get to varying percentages below 30% before the whole thing freezes.
I now have an error that says Upgrade Rom code error Please Try Again.
Sorry i dont mean to hijack ! but will any of you be kind enough to help me here..

thanks !
Ok so I followed the steps and still to no avail.
I am able to boot using the sd card method, however, the same problem occurs with each rom version. Basically as soon as I reset the device it pretty much switches itself off, then I can't turn it back on, once I finally do turn it on, it restarts the process like it never happened.
The other issue is again the active sync problem.
With most of the the usb connections I am able to connect and get a little way through the install (most I've got is 15%) then it just freezes up and I get the 262 error
Your best bet is to try flashing with a freshly formatted (FAT32) 4gb, class 2 card.
I know, sounds pretty specific right?
You wouldn't think it would matter?
I have tried flashing with 16 gb class 2, failed at the radio step
Tried with a 8 gb class 6, failed at the radio
4 gb, class 2, flashed successfully.
Seems our HD2's are picky about what cards they'll take a ROM from for some reason.
Alright I'll try that, my next issue is which is the stock rom for the phone =S
It was bought in the UAE and I'm currently in Australia.
edit: Also I read somewhere that the constant bootloader screen can be caused by a bent battery pin?
Edit2: I have attempted to do that, however, now the bootloader will accept the card, then just sit on loading...
I'm pretty sure this thing is bricked.

I've heard of bent battery pins being a pretty common problem, causing usually just the phone not to charge properly. I've personally never heard of it causing constant bootloader, but it's definitely worth checking.
It's weird that it's such a common problem, my usb/charging port is broken, so I have to use an external charger. I change my battery on average twice every 24 hrs, and I've never bent a pin
Ok, new info, apparently because the device is for the middle east it does not support stock 3.14 roms. What does this mean for me? Am I bricked.

That's the post I found the info in. All of that info matches up to mine except my original image was 3.142 I think =S
Firstly, your phone is not bricked - a bricked phone is responsive as a brick.
Can we start from the begining?
What does the Bootloader Moder screen say (with and without the USB cable connected)?
What ROM (and if custom ROM, what RADIO) have you flashed and are trying to flash?

Alright from the beginning.
Basically about a month into using the phone in Australia it became very unresponsive to the point where it would not boot at all. We left the phone for a couple of months, however, after seeing a friend rom android I decided maybe it was time to attempt to fix this phone.
Some more info:
When I attempt to do any sort of ROM update there is nothing in the 'current image' part so for example it will say update to Dutty 3.6 but it's updating from nothing, does this mean there's no firmware there?
In the bootloader I have:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
MICROP(LED) 0X05
MICROP(TOUCH) 0X40
Without USB cable in I get Serial in the white part down the bottom, with the USB cable in + plugged into computer I get USB.
Just to further clarify. In regards to the ROM I have installed. I simply don't have anything installed. There is a bootloader, no image, no bootup. It boots up to the tri colour, that's it.
For a moment we will forget about going to 3.14 ROM: I don't know if that phone is entitled to an official upgrade to 3.14, if it is locked to a particular network, if it is branded, etc. If it is not entitled to a 3.14 ROM upgrade then you will have to go through GoldCarding, so we will leave it for now.
Make sure that the battery has had a good couple of hours charge in the charger or double that if connected to the computer.
Remove SIM Card and SD Card.
Switch on to Bootloader Mode, then connect to USB.
Download and run HSPL2 - ignore the instruction about connecting to ActiveSync etc, just proceed.
Download and install the HTC 1.66 WWE ROM - again, ignore the instructions, just proceed.
The reason for HSPL is because your phone may be operator locked (not SIM locked) and you aren't entitled to run the 1.66 WWE ROM.
